Community Care Alliance is seeking a community mental health worker to work as a member of our 24/7 mobile crisis team. The community mental health worker will work with a team consisting of a clinician, RN, case manager and peer specialist and assist individuals who are experiencing a behavioral health crisis. The community mental health worker will provide support to clients seen and attempt to engage them or reengage them in services after the initial crisis. This position will act as a bridge between affected individuals and available resources. The position may also involve transporting individuals (always accompanied by other staff) to appointments or treatment as well as assisting the program director with data collection, marketing and networking.
